Abaqus: Memory use in Part Module

Abaqus: Memory use in Part Module

Abaqus: Memory use in Part Module

(OP)
Hello!

I have a model with a lot of partitions. So far I have been using around 4000 partitions in the same model. I use Abaqus 6.11.

I use a python scrip to automate the partitioning of my part in the Part Module. With 4000 partitions it takes already quite some time (less than an hour).

Now I am trying to increase the number of partitions to 22000 and it takes forever to partition (around 48h). I noticed that the partitioning time for a single partition increases with the number of partitions. I guess it is because of the memory.

I checked the memory used by abaqus with the Windows tool and I noticed it was only 2.7Gb during partitioning. I have 16 Gb available on my computer.

I tried to change the memory use of abaqus but I have only been able to change the memory used during the job (which was already fine).

I tried the following commands without success:

pre_memory="10000mb"

memory="10000mb"

standard_memory="10000mb"

Is there a command where I can change the amount of memory used during the definition of the problem in the module part?

Thanks!

Marek
